One-Eyed

Myths, folklore, and symbolism
One-Eyed: Like blindness, lameness, or having a humpback, having one eye usually signifies a limitation, but it also expresses capacities of a particular sort, such as unusually primitive powers (e.g., Cyclops, Polyphemus) or divine knowledge (e.g., Odin). (Herder)
